Happy New Year 2012!
by Jacquelyn
Wow did the last couple of months go by fast. It always seems to be that November and December are always my busiest months. I’ve had such a great time getting to know my new workplace and coworkers. In December we had a Staff Day where I was able to meet all the staff in the system. It wasn’t until this day that I realized how many people I actually work with. It’s a large system and some of the best librarians I’ve met so far. Towards the in of December I took on the duty of organizing MoneySmart Week. Which I’ll talk about in another post.
Now that it’s a new year it’s time to look back on what all I did in 2011. Last year I set forth five goals for me to try and accomplish in the year. Out of the five goals I was able to successfully complete two and semi-successfully complete one. I graduated in May with my MLIS. In September I landed an awesome full time job at FCPL. I’ve also been able to knock out 90% of my consumer debt in preparation of paying back my student loans this year. It’s been a busy 2011 and 2012 is shaping up to be even busier. How great!
Just like last year I’m going to set myself five goals to try to carry out. I’ll be taking them from my 30 to by Thirty list, while also keeping the two goals I wasn’t able to carry out for the next year.
My 2012 Goals
1. Get to a healthier weight.
2. Take a celebratory trip, possibly New York, New York.
3. Wear an article of clothing sewn by me in public.
4. Visit an art museum that I have never been to. (Locally or nationally…or internationally.)
5. For one month be a locavore. (Read: Support local businesses and increase my Green thinking.)
I’ll also be attempting a 365 project, more details to come and hopefully I’ll do a better job keeping this blog updated. Happy New Year everyone!
